Thank you grillmaster, I was trying to figure out when the production began in Japan and if that had anything to do with the stop of the timing chain recall? I see that some 2013 have been recalled but not all. I am leaning towards a 2014 qx80 but wonder about the recalled vehicles repairs. When the timing chain is repaired, do you know if it is just replaced and subject to similar wear in years or are the components different to avoid this?

We are in need of vehicle fast and the only close ones are recalled and repaired. May have one shipped but doing my research first. The more I read about this vehicle the more I love it.

I had the timing chain recall (P6305) service done 23-Dec-2017 at 82k miles and while there did other service items to round out the visit. Ex. Replacing drive belt and thermostat were "parts only" (no labor) because Infiniti was taking the front apart anyways.

I didn't have symptoms others had before the service and it's been running great after the service, 6k+ miles later. I have no concerns that the timing chain will be a problem for me.
